Are "apse" and "lapse" etymologically related words?
(maybe by "deep" etymology?)

If so, how?

If not, how not?

For what it's worth, here's what the good people on Wiktionary.org say:

apse:
via Latin apsis, from Ancient Greek ἁψίς (hapsis, “arch, vault”), from ἅπτω (haptō, “I bind, join”)

lapse:
from Middle French laps, from Latin lapsus, from labi (“to slip”)
